Mmmm... <BR/>I heard that our tap water is soft water, but maybe I can buy bottled hard water at the store and use it for brewing Yorkshire tea. I wonder how different it would taste! :)obachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146311760014752971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421337.post-1166272743599876382006-12-16T21:39:00.000+09:002006-12-16T21:39:00.000+09:00HP sauce is a lot like tonkatsu sauce!

Without you, I wouldn’t have known the difference between American baked beans and English baked beans. I’d assumed that full English breakfast is probably more popular with men. <BR/>I’m also one of those who tend to eat “full breakfast” (incl. Japanese full breakfast) for weekend brunch. I’m not an early bird, after all. ;)<BR/>obachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146311760014752971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421337.post-1156282412850513102006-08-23T06:33:00.000+09:002006-08-23T06:33:00.000+09:00Just thought I'd clarify the baked beans thing (an...Just thought I'd clarify the baked beans thing (and a few other points)...<BR/> <BR/>A typical "English Breakfast" does often contain baked beans, however these are not quite the same as the ones you get in the southern US. "English" baked beans tend to be the Heinz type, very rarely homemade, they come in a tin & are small white beans in a thick tomato sauce.
